Hollywood star George Clooney has slammed reports that says his ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis sent him a series of angry texts after learning of his reported new romance.

Clooney, 50, split from Canalis in June and is now rumoured to be dating former WWE wrestler Stacy Keibler.

"I never comment on my personal life unless it affects others... and this lie affects others. Since I would be the only actual witness, I ask you to correct your story immediately, but that would assume you cared at all about telling the truth," said Clooney.

A report on a magazine this week suggested that Canalis was unhappy to learn about Clooney's new girl, and sent text messages to his cell phone expressing her dismay.

Elisabetta Canalis, Italian TV host and Hollywood actor George Clooney's former girlfriend has just shot a new anti-fur ad for PeTA.

Canalis says that she'd rather be comfortable in her own skin than wear that of an animal.

“I’d rather go nak3d than wear fur” the poster says and shows a sensual photo of the Italian model and TV star. Elisabetta Canalis calls it “the best reason why I got nak3d in my life.”

Canalis says that her opposition to cruelty to animals started when she was very young.

"I was a kid, a little girl, and was watching TV at home and they showed a documentary. And in the documentary I saw how they killed little animals, like electrocuting them, drowning them, bludgeoning them. I was shocked because I was a little girl, but by that moment I thought that I would never, never, never wear fur in my life."

The new cast of Dancing With the Stars – the US version of Strictly Come Dancing – has been revealed.

The 13th season of the hit show will feature a mix of actors, athletes and TV personalities.

Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis, George Clooney's ex-girlfriend, is among those set to tango and quickstep with the professional dancers.

The couple split up at the beginning of summer after two years together.

Also in the line-up are reality TV stars Robert Kardashian, Kristin Cavallari and Chaz Bono, and TV personalities Nancy Grace, Carson Kressley and Ricki Lake.

Singer-actress Chynna Phillips, actors David Arquette (right) and JR Martinez, and basketball star Ron Artest will also be taking part.

The new cast members will perform their first dance routines on the season premiere on September 19.
